This document provides an overview of protocols for professional conversations. It begins by defining protocols as structured guides for conversations. It then discusses how protocols can help deepen understanding of teaching and learning, as well as improve skills and focus when working with students and colleagues. Several specific protocols are described, including the Microlab Protocol, Tuning Protocol, and Consultancy Protocol. The document outlines features of effective protocols and challenges to using them well. It emphasizes that protocols are tools to support learning, not replace the work itself, and benefit from practice over time.
The presentation will cover the contents for Training for Trainer. I start my session with introduction and ice breaking. The presentation is brief and it will not help you to be a good trainer. It will give you tips on how to be a good trainer. If you want to be a good trainer, all you need to do is keep practicing, your creativity, natural abilities, perception, attitude and how good are you to connect with the audiences.

Synthetic Fiber Construction in lab .pptxPavel ( NSTU)
Synthetic fiber production is a fascinating and complex field that blends chemistry, engineering, and environmental science. By understanding these aspects, students can gain a comprehensive view of synthetic fiber production, its impact on society and the environment, and the potential for future innovations. Synthetic fibers play a crucial role in modern society, impacting various aspects of daily life, industry, and the environment. ynthetic fibers are integral to modern life, offering a range of benefits from cost-effectiveness and versatility to innovative applications and performance characteristics. While they pose environmental challenges, ongoing research and development aim to create more sustainable and eco-friendly alternatives. Understanding the importance of synthetic fibers helps in appreciating their role in the economy, industry, and daily life, while also emphasizing the need for sustainable practices and innovation.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

3. Understanding Goals
• What are protocols?
• How can protocols help us to deepen
our understanding of teaching and
learning?
• How can protocols be used to improve
our skill and focus in working with
students and colleagues?
6. The Question(s):
Think of the professional conversation in which you
learned the most.
What did you learn in the course of the
conversation?
What made it powerful?
What was the least productive professional
conversation you’ve ever had?
What made it so difficult?
7. Microlab Protocol
Purpose:
To address a specific sequence of questions in a
structured format with small groups, using
active listening skills
What’s Examined and Discussed:
Usually a question or text.
8. Essential Qualities of a Professional
Learning Conversation
• CLARITY of purpose
• SAFETY that supports trust and risk taking
• EQUITY for all participants
• (LEVITY—because joy is important, too!)
Protocols can help with these . . . .

11. Collaborative Assessment Conference
A structure by which teachers come together to look
at a piece of work, first to determine what it reveals
about the student and the issues she/he cares about,
and then to consider how the student's issues and
concerns relate to the teacher's goals for the student.
The last part of the conversation the - discussion of
classroom practice - grows out of these initial
considerations.
12. Tuning Protocol
Widely used and adapted for looking at
both student and adult work in and among
schools across the country
13. The Consultancy Protocol
- A protocol for allowing a group to analyze a
dilemma that an individual or the group is
experiencing in order to understand the dilemma
more deeply.
- Exploring a dilemma – not solving it!
- Understanding it in a different way opens up new
ways of moving forward.
15. Using Protocols
They are tools for the work of supporting teacher
and student learning (not the work itself).
They must be chosen with a specific purpose in
mind.
It takes some practice before they can be used
most effectively.
16. How do protocols help?
Help create opportunities for and allocate time to
essential conversations about teaching and
learning.
Provide routines and structures to scaffold
collaborative analysis and planning.
Support interactions that enable us to develop and
demonstrate our understanding of and respect for
the variety of perspectives and experiences by our
colleagues.
17. Protocols
(Almost) all protocols will enhance:
Clarity (making the purpose explicit)
Safety (creating clear expectations for roles and participation)
Equity (enabling/encouraging everyone to participate)
18. Some Protocols Do More
Especially protocols that emphasise…
Observing
Listening
Asking questions about what one observes and
hears
Using conditional language (wondering,
considering)
Question-finding and question-refining (as
opposed to problem-solving)
Learning (as opposed to task accomplishment)
19. Challenges of Using Protocols Well
Weathering the “learning curve.”
Deciding when to use a protocol.
Choosing the appropriate protocols for the
purposes.
Resisting the impulse to problem-solve (at least for
a time)
Documenting learning and building on previous
discussions.
Facilitation.
Time, time, time.

21. The extent of trust among adults in schools strongly predicts positive student learning
outcomes (Bryk, 2002).
22. “When our colleagues were able
to see that they were in control of
their own professional learning,
we moved from a top-down
approach to something that was
fundamentally different. We
flipped the locus of control into
the hands of those that needed it
most – those that knew their
students and classroom context
best: the passionate educators
within our school.”
